A set of eight sachets of vintage textile dye from the L'Alsacienne brand, presented in their original printed paper packaging. These dyes, intended for home use on wool, wool blends, cotton, or silk, showcase the industrial and graphic expertise of the late 19th and very early 20th centuries. The elegant typography, ornamental borders, and color names create a set particularly evocative of the world of workshops, applied arts, and period craftsmanship.
